Entire comment I wrote thinking you might be an intentionally TERF-coded transphobe
Everyone say yay for casually transphobic comments!
Don’t know if you’re intentionally being a passive-aggressive terfy little bigot, or are just very, very uneducated and unlucky with your wording, but trans women (who are not men), actually get periods! Cramps included!
And the regret rate remains below 1% regardless!
I would like to know what you were thinking when you posted, but hey, it’s the internet, it’s easy to misunderstand people, so I’m just asking instead of assuming.
Hey, sorry for being aggressive right away @SomeRandomNoob@discuss.tchncs.de, I really actually need to ask first. Did you literally mean it, when you said that “so many men would push the button”?
I Absolutely support LGBTQ+ People! My Comment was not made with Transpeople in mind. It was about “regular” men being confronted with the Fantasy choice of being a Woman by the push of a Button. That was indeed not clear from my comment. Thank you for asking! I added a note to my original comment!
Sure, but getting rid of dysphoria is a pretty compelling upside that a cis man wouldn’t have. In fact, they might acquire it. The regret rate for -dysphoria +periods is low, but the regret rate for +dysphoria +periods would almost certainly be higher.
Of course, that’s assuming that the button makes you female, which is not what the OP says. If a cis man pressed it, the most straightforward interpretation is that they’d turn into a trans girl, so they’d de-age and get dysphoria.
That said, and while I get that you’re probably sick and tired of dealing with transphobes, their comment didn’t actually mention trans people at all. I think you might have been a little trigger-happy there. As you said, trans women are not men, and their comment was talking about men, so it wasn’t talking about trans women.

Huh.
Wait.

You’re not wrong.
Shit, just a moment, I should edit my comment, thanks.
